ASTRA DALE I.S.D.S. No: 00/294446 This is his fourth litter - he is almost 7 years old   We are hoping to compete in the Scottish Nationals this year. Astra Dale is our Number ONE flock and trials dog. He has the most amazing character and work ethic. He is either chilling out totally relaxed or he is in FULL work mode. see his photo album to see what we mean CEA normal by DNA test TNS normal by DNA test  IGS (B12 deficiency) normal by DNA test Hip Scored: 7:6 both parents and several grandparents were also hip scored with very good hips Elbow Scored: 0:0 Placed in Open sheepdog trials and winner of Local Lintrathen Sheepdog Trials 2012   A kind and willing nature extreemly loyal but will work for anyone. His "Off Switch" is very pronounced yet when there is work needed he can really deliver with no hint of giving up - and will produce tonnes of effort and more. This dog has loads of power and brains for Hill work or yard work Truly outstanding as a lamging dog PEDIGREE of ASTRA DALE 00/294446 Health information on pedigree may not be up to date (please ask us for the updated version when you enquire) .   Click here to veiw album with Iphone or Ipad       DALE has his own Video Playlist with a few videos done whilst he was learning to become a sheepdog We have hundreds more of our hero doing his daily work, but no time to edit and upload in small enough files.

ASTRA CLOUD I.S.D.S. No: 00-296579 A super calm loving dog when on her own with humans,   Fantastic "Off Switch". Cloud's previous litters are already doing well in Herding, Agility and making a name in Obedience, Especially Astra Jerry who is well on his way to beoming n accomplished sheepdog. We expect this litter to do just as well in all performance dog sports. This is her third and final litter.   We had hoped for a bitch pup to continue the lines of both Dale and Cloud but this will not be the case as it is very clear that this mating was not at all combatible. She whelped on her due date.   One red and white seal male (Kinked Tail) One Slate tricolour seal male One lilac female very small - died shortly after birth (severe undershot jaw and cleft palate) One mummyfied puppy (perhaps died at around 5-6 weeks gestation) all above by normal birth then One very large puppy also dead for around a week, by C section resulting in spaying Cloud to prevent infection which may have been caused by the dead puppies.   The two remaining pups are very strong and beautiful they will be looking for very active herding or agility homes Apply NOW.   DNA "Carrier" for CEA by test TNS normal by DNA test  IGS (B12 deficiency) normal by DNA test Hip Scored: 7:6   PEDIGREE of ASTRA CLOUD Health information on pedigree may not be up to date (please ask us for the updated version when you enquire) .     Click here to veiw album with Iphone or Ipad

PUPPIES PEDIGREE

 

If you are interested in a puppy in this litter you must advise us if you intend to breed.

Please read To Breed or not to Breed ?

 

Make Your Enquiry NOW !

to purchase a puppy from this litter or to ask about any other puppies.

Preference will ALWAYS be given (where choice is available) to potential WORKING homes (herding or competition performance sports).

It is human nature to select on looks alone.

BUT it is through our considerable experience that we advise you to take into account the puppies character in the selection process;

because selecting the wrong character is much harder to live with than the wrong white markings,coat colour or coat length.

As we like to place pups to the right home by Character we ask you give us your choice of three puppies in order of preference. 

 

This is essential as we may well have several requests for the same puppy and we, of course, cannot dissect the puppy.

 

Your choices will always be considered and mutually agreed upon before final choice is made.

 

Character develops from five weeks of age and I will be looking closely at the pups to establish which in my opinion will make the best possible dog for your requirements,

 

I will tell you the character of each pup as it develops.

 

Puppies are marked SOLD on the website once the choice has been agreed with the new owners and a deposit has been received.

 

Regular photo updates (we try to do this once every week to ten days) and also try to include some video.

 

Look forward to receiving your choices in order of preference.
